Dave and Katie walked down the remote Costa Rican beach, holding hands. The weather was perfect, in the mid-80s, with a soft breeze that made the coconut palms sway gently. The warm turquoise water was crystal clear. The offshore reef kept the water calm and flat, as frigate birds circled slowly in the sky, far above. A few people lounged in a sandy area near the small parking lot. Then the beach got rocky and empty.
"If we keep heading down the beach, maybe we'll find an empty spot and have the whole place to ourselves, babe." Dave was feeling exuberant.
"Let's go!" Katie exclaimed, smiling, and holding his hand tighter. He smiled big and squeezed her hand.
They walked for half a mile, then came to a deserted cove where a rocky point curled around at the end of the beach. Happily, they set down their packs and spread their big towel on the one patch of soft, white sand amongst the small rocks.
Giving him a flirtatious glance, Katie pulled off her top, exposing her beautiful, full breasts and pale nipples to the warm sun, which felt so sensual on her skin.
Dave thought his smile might break his face. "Let's get in the water!"
"Yep!" She smiled radiantly.
For an hour they swam and explored the soothing, warm water, taking turns with the mask and snorkel. With each exchange of the mask, they held each other and kissed deeply. Back on the beach, they dozed contentedly in the sunlight, holding each other close.
Dave woke first at the sound of voices. Another couple was walking down the beach toward the cove. As they approached, they waved and gave friendly smiles. Younger than Katie and Dave, they were in their 30s. Both were blond. He was tall with strong arms and legs. She was slender and well-toned, and, like Katie, had shed her top. They could be yoga instructors, Dave thought.
Katie stirred from her nap as Dave told her, "We have company." When she looked concerned, he reassured her. "They seem perfectly friendly." Katie relaxed and smiled. "They're a good-looking couple."
"What are the odds? Two good-looking couples on the same beach," he smiled.
Approaching their spot, the young man asked, "Would you mind if we shared this bit of sand with you? Looks like the only place without rocks."
Dave and Katie exchanged a glance, then said "sure" in unison. Katie had covered her breasts as the couple walked up, but she dropped her arms as they got close. Blushing, she looked the handsome young man in the eye as he thanked them. The woman smiled warmly and made no effort to cover her perfect small breasts. The sandy area was not large, so they laid out their towels just a few feet away.
"I'm Jack and this is my wife, Marie. We're from New Mexico, here to celebrate our anniversary. How about you two?"
Dave explained they were celebrating Katie's birthday, and recently had their first anniversary. Marie asked how they had met. Marie and Jack sat close to each other as Katie and Dave told them the story.
After a few minutes Jack and Marie ran out into the water. As their new, young friends splashed about like otters, Katie and Dave stretched out again, marveling at the idyllic place they had found. They kissed passionately.
